Noun

Hello,

1. Nutun (the name of a girl) put down the phone. She Jumped with joy.

a) Putting down the phone, Nutun jumped with joy.

b) Putting down the phone, she jumped with joy.

Which one is correct? The teacher says that (a) is only correct?

Could anybody explain it?

Thanks.

Hi, hanuman. This is the third time we've tried to solve this problem - Which is fine! It just seems strange that the teacher is taking so long to make the point.

  • If the assignment you're given is to take a certain sentence and transform it to another type of sentence, you must do your best to include all the information.
  • The new sentence should tell you everything the old sentence told you.

Sentence b) doesn't tell us who jumped, or as I would say, was jumping with joy.

Having put the phone down / after putting the phone down work better for a) and b).

Teacher is correct about #1, but they sound very choppy as two short sentences.

AvangiIt's not that the sentence itself is incorrect. It's that the transformation is incorrect
I beat you, Avangi! [<:o)]
